913luger, be sure to check the front and rear of the grips straps for missing blueing, a lot of these earlier ones were caried in the hand and it took it's toll in this area. My 1918 has this problem and I missed it when I bought it, read dumb me, never again, an expensive lesson learned the hard way. My guestimate based upon what you have provided so far would put it in the $13 to $1400 range more or less, depending upon the maker and condition of the holster, but then I'm not in the estimating business, just going on what I see on the auction sites.
